18/05/2011

Silverstone Circuits Limited and its owner the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) have opened the new pit, paddock and conference complex – The Silverstone Wing.

The Northamptonshire-based venue has three large halls which can cater for up to 1,000 people in each, a business centre and a 100-seat auditorium. The Silverstone Wing claims to be the largest covered exhibition space between London and Birmingham and the new facility will host its first major motor sport event, the FIA GT1 World Championship, on 3-5 June.

Richard Phillips, managing director of Silverstone Circuits Limited said: “This building will not only be a wonderful base for our major race meetings, but has the flexibility to accommodate conferences, exhibitions, launches, banqueting functions and experiential events.”
